Elder Asa Laws - Adventures in Brazil: August 2012
http://elderasalaws.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Elder Asa Laws - Adventures in Brazil. Monday, August 27, 2012. Week #72 - "I'm watching you, Wazowski. Always watching.". So MY PACKAGES ARRIVED IN RECORD TIME! I thank you Mother and the Pahl family (grandparents)! Two jars of peanut butter (one from mom and one from grandma) is just absolutely amazing and the Brazilians in our house were blown away to see the church peanut butter you sent grandma Val. They had no idea that the church makes food! Watermelon jam is quite different, but also AWESOME!

Elder Asa Laws - Adventures in Brazil. Monday, November 26, 2012. Week #85 - "My hair glows when I sing.". What a wonderfully full week! First, news that there is a member in my ward that served in Missão Cuiabá, Roman's mission! So this week we went to the mission home and I was able to get MY CAMERA! We had a meeting with the stake president and I was surprised because it was not how I had imagined it. I did not talk much but rather, I just observed and was absorbing how things work in my new calli...

Elder Asa Laws - Adventures in Brazil: Week #101
http://elderasalaws.blogspot.com/2013/03/week-101.html
Elder Asa Laws - Adventures in Brazil. Monday, March 18, 2013. What a wonderful week that we had. It interesting though because once again I am sitting in the mission office the week after I had left. Can't seem to get away, can I? I will explain later. It is very interesting to get back to your area after 3 weeks and not know anyone! However, I am still happy because people still think I am Brazilian, so that is cool. I love you all so much. Read the Book of Mormon. Read the Bible. Map of Manaus Brazil.

"Had it really been 1 year and 11 months since he had seen his brother? Was he really that much skinnier? Cuiabá was beautiful from the air and much smaller ...
